    Fuck Trump, but this one is a bipartisan effort that has been ongoing since the Clinton administration accelerated the deregulation train. There has also been very little action towards anti-competitive practices for a very long time.

    Don’t get suckered into a red vs blue mindset here. This is a battle against corporate and billionaire abuse of power.

    EDIT: If I am being honest, I was all onboard the deregulation train back in the nineties. I was young and ignorant. I never imagined the damage it would bring.

      Obama establishing the CFPB was a pretty big win for Americans.
